Publisher Marketing: Monette Victor comes out of prison more than ready to put her old life behind her. After a long hard fight, she is granted parole. She's determined to clear her record and her name; nothing less than a full pardon will do. With a bestseller about her scandalous past, Monette is ready to take on the real world. At least that's how it seems to those looking from the outside. Inside, Monette is scared. She has a lot to make up for, and a lot of burned bridges to rebuild. Love isn't on her busy schedule. Until Jayson Odum walks in. On the surface they're from two different worlds, the nice guy from a stable family vs. the bad girl who came up hard and made all the wrong choices. The sparks fly, and Jayson sweeps away Monette's attempts to keep him at arm's length. Monette starts to believe in happily ever after. But when her former lover launches a new campaign to get her sent back to prison, Monette and Jayson have to find a way to stand together and claim the happiness they deserve.
